In terms of food, he thinks blue collar street food, not the developed restaurant scene which Julia promises exists. The first restaurant he visits is Vedge, a fine dining vegan restaurant which wants to be known as fine dining more than vegan. As Giles is a confirmed omnivore who likes animal protein in his meals, they have an uphill battle to get his review. The second restaurant is Cheu Noodle Bar, an Asian noodle joint run by two very non-Asian guys, who place their non-Asian spin on the concept. Getting Giles' review may be dependent on if he sees their spin being distinctive and successful enough. The third restaurant is The Mildred, a French-American restaurant where all dishes are served in cast iron pots to evoke a sense of home cooking. Giles may see the iron pots and other measures used to bring in customers as either inspired or gimmicky. The fourth restaurant is The Avenue Delicatessen, a Jewish-Italian deli where everything is made from scratch. The food and service have to be excellent to overcome the negative of the long drive through a dicey neighborhood from downtown. The final restaurant is Kanella, a traditional Greek-Cypriot restaurant that is also BYOB. Getting Giles' review may depend on how the chef handles a special request, and if they can elevate Greek food above what it is normally seen as. Although not among his five official meals for review consideration, Giles can't leave Philadelphia without having its staple, the Philly cheesesteak, both a street version and the most expensive version in the world. And about Rocky... Written by Huggo See less
